Abstract
Introduction: Psychosocial status such as psychosocial stressors and social support can affect health. Furthermore mental pathology diagnosed during pregnancy can affect pregnancy outcomes. However, little information is available, so this study was done to investigate Association maternal stress and social support with preeclampsia.
Method: This case-control study includes 110 multipara pregnant women, 55 as case group (preeclampsia) and 55 as control group (normal pregnancy), who had inclusion criteria. All participants were selected through based on target sampling method. Perceived Stress Scale and Vaux social support appraisals was used as data gathering tools.
Finding: The results of this study showed that there is a significant differences between two groups in terms of perceived stress (p=0.02) and social support, and the total score of social support (p=0.006), family (0.04), acquaintances (0.006) and friend (0.04) social support subscale and preeclampsia. Among cofounders, numbers of prenatal cares and history of preeclampsia was controlled by entering in logistic regression. The combined effect showed that just social support was effective at incidence of preeclampsia (P-value 0.02 OR 0.86 CI 95%: 0.76-0.98).
Discussion: According to the significant differences between two groups in terms of stress and social support, midwives and health care worker's attention to psychological health specially stress of pregnant women during prenatal period and providing appropriate support to reduce maternal stress is one of the most important matters that should be emphasized.

Abstract
Interdiction:
In this research, for evaluating various economic - social projects, we use
welfare economics approach function, in order to calculate the weight of
welfare and the marginal utility of income or consumption. If the purpose of
government policy from economic and social projects is increasing social
welfare through resource allocation between income deciles (through increased
consumption or income) so what weight would be appropriate for each docile? It
should be mentioned that because the real per capita consumption of each decile
is different from the other ones, so equal increases of per capita
consumptions, would have different effects on social welfare.
Method:
To calculate the weights, demand function of food is estimated by using dynamic
ordinary least squares (DOLS).
Findings:
Therefore the welfare weights are important in calculation of evaluation of
government projects.
Discussion:
Results suggest that in order to increase social welfare through resource
allocation, different weights should be considered for each docile and after
calculating the weight, government should choose the plans which results in the
most benefits from different aspects (distributive or with Pareto efficiency).
